The Dry Foam Method: Why It Works & Why It’s Better
The Auto Detailing Podcast
If you want a safer, faster, and more effective way to wash your car than the old-school two-bucket method, this episode breaks down everything you need to know about the Dry Foam Method. This modern approach lets the soap hit the dirt at full strength, giving you better cleaning power with less risk of scratching. Instead of pre-rinsing the car and immediately diluting your soap, dry foaming allows the chemical to work at its most concentrated level. It removes more dirt chemically before you ever make physical contact with the paint. In this episode, you will learn: What the Dry Foam...

Today I’m breaking down the real truth about how detailing products are made, how private labeling works, and why so many brands rely on marketing instead of real chemistry.
I’ve been behind the scenes for years—fulfilling products, private labeling, working with manufacturers, and now developing my own formulas with a chemist. I’ve seen how this industry really operates, and very few people talk about it honestly.
In this episode, I cover:
• The truth about private label products
• Why most brands don’t make their own formulas
• How easy it is to white-label average or poor products
• Why packaging often sells more than actual chemistry
• The real margins and how they drive decisions
• Why many influencers recommend certain products
• How detailing products are actually made behind the scenes
• What cheap formulas skip and why performance suffers
• How my own development process works
• Why I’m trying to build Jimbo’s Detailing differently
I also share what goes into products like Picture Perfect Polish, The Super Soaper, Gloss Boss, and more—how they’re tested, developed, and refined. Building products the right way is slower and harder, and it takes time to show people the difference. But this episode explains exactly why I’m doing it this way.
If you want honest, transparent insight into the detailing world, this podcast will be valuable.
